Saucepan man, that link isn't working for me at the moment. I wonder if anyone has considered the possible connection between the Dragons which survived the fall of Thangorodrim & the 'wild Were Worms who live in the Last Desert' who Bilbo mentions in Hobbit.

Ok, that's possibly a Hobbit legend, without any basis in truth, but Hobbits migrated from the East, & maybe its a tradition based on ancient experience, otherwise, where does the idea come from? The pair of Dragons head east, as far from the Ancient West as possible, breed with what? 'Were-worms' suggests creatures who transform from other creatures. Perhaps they bred with giant lizards, creating a new strain, most of which were not 'true' Dragons, but some of which could be be.
